Created in collaboration with Hasbro , the company that owns the rights to the original game, Monopoly Live is an Evolution game show presented for the first time during ICE 2019 and immediately entered the good graces of fans of live online casino games .
Among the peculiarities that made Monopoly Live a title of immediate success there is certainly the very particular bonus in three dimensions, capable of giving life to none other than Rich Uncle Pennybags himself, that is the Mister Monopoly who has always played the role of the mascot of the masterpiece of Hasbro.
The rules of Monopoly Live
But how does Monopoly Live work and how is it played? The gameplay basically involves two parts: the main game and the bonus . Let’s start with the first, which borrows the colored wheel of another Evolution Gaming title, Dream Catcher . The wheel is divided into 54 segments of identical size, 48 of which are marked with a number: 1, 2, 5 and 10. The remaining six segments are divided as follows: two Chance segments three segments with 2 rolls and one segment with 4 rolls .
Once the time to place bets has expired, the presenter of the game, a real dealer, spins the wheel clockwise or counterclockwise: if the wheel stops on a segment on which you have bet, you win the corresponding prize.
If the wheel stops on a Chance segment, Mister Monopoly himself will offer you a chance card , that is the Probability card , which together with the Unexpected card has made the history of table monopoly . You can win a random bonus prize or a multiplier. In the latter case, the bet made in the previous round remains in play also for the next spin, whose winnings will be multiplied according to the multiplier obtained thanks to the chance card.
But what happens if a multiplier is also obtained from the Probability card on the next spin? That even the multiplier … will be multiplied! For example, if you bet 10 euros on number 2 and receive a multiplier x8, you will win 10 x 8 x 2, which is 160 euros. However, if you activate the bonus in the spin following the multiplier , you will win only if you bet on the 2 roll or 4 roll segments.
The peculiarities and bonuses of Monopoly Live
Monopoly Live is a very varied game show , capable of entertaining for a long time because of its wide range of opportunities. Among the particular features of the game, some stand out that give that extra touch of unpredictability, typical among other things of the original.
- If the wheel stops on 2 rolls or 4 rolls, the bonus (which we will talk about shortly) will last for at least another 2 or 4 rolls respectively.
- If the roll of the dice yields a double, i.e. two dice with the same number, the player wins another free roll (but not when he rolls a double to get out of jail).
- If Mister Monopoly lands on Chance or Community Chest, you can win a random prize… or face a fine!
- Once you get out of the way, all prizes are doubled.
- If Mr. Monopoly lands on the “Go to jail” space, you must roll a double to get out.
To play the Monopoly Live bonus, however, you must have bet on 2 rolls or 4 rolls or both. When it happens that the wheel stops on these sectors, on which you have bet, you will be transported to the famous original Monopoly board, with various houses and hotels and their respective multipliers. The number of dice rolls are determined by the segment that gives life to the bonus, during which Mister Monopoly moves on the board, touching the typical boxes of the game such as properties , free parking , stations and so on.
Each of these boxes will have basic rewards, but when the Monopoly Live bonus starts, and the various houses and hotels are built on certain properties, the rewards are increased.

Monopoly Live strategies and tricks
Monopoly Live, like all game shows, is a relatively new game, and as such the best strategies have not yet been studied, nor are any particular tricks available to win. Although one strategy that can be effective is to focus on roll segments.
This is because they are the two segments that can guarantee the highest maximum payout, giving rise to the aforementioned bonus. Since there are 54 segments on the Monopoly Live wheel, and there are 4 roll segments in total, you will have about a 1 in 13.5 chance that the wheel will land on one of these segments.
